Instructions
Prepare the Kebab Mixture
- Grate the onion and red bell pepper and squeeze out all the juices.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken with grated onion and pepper, garlic, green chili, salt, paprika, red chili flakes, and chopped parsley.
- Knead the mixture thoroughly for a couple of minutes until all the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a dough-like mass.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate it for at least an hour or upto overnight to develop the flavor.
Assembling
- Divide the chicken mixture into equal portions.
- Keep a bowl of chilled water next to you while assembling.
- Wet your palm in chilled water. Take each portion and mould it around a metal skewer, forming a long, slightly flattened sausage-like shape.
Grill the kebabs
- Preheat a grill or skillet over medium-high.
- Once it is hot, brush a little oil, and place the skewers on it.
- Cook for about 5-6 minutes, turning them a few times, until the kebabs are lightly browned, and some charred spots appear. Make sure not to overcook them.
Serve
- Serve the chicken adana kebabs hot or warm with your choice of accompaniment.

- Skewers: If you don't have flat skewers, you can use three to four round wooden skewers that have been soaked in water. Align them side by side on a flat surface and tightly wrap them with aluminium foil, ensuring it securely holds the skewers together. This can be used as a substitute for a single flat skewer.
